Grounded!

So yesterday I had a doctors appointment and received some good and bad news. The good news is that my baby has doubled her weight since the last appointment and is now 2 lbs and is in the 60th percentile. Which isn't a suprise since Jeremy and I are both tall. The bad news is that I am not allowed to leave the Syracuse area. I have a few complications (a fibroid and two cysts) so most likely I will go into preterm labor. Plus the baby is breeched right now which is normal but they are not convinced she will have enough room to turn around. So they are saying I will probably have a c-section if that turns out to be the case. It was a rather depressing appointment because I had a lot of trips scheduled for November and now I will remain at home. Fortunately the baby is healthy and is growing well so I am happy and trusting God for the rest. I know once the baby is here I will probably not even remember these trials that arose.

Today in chapel we sang "To God Be The Glory" and it made me reflect on how great God is and how much we have to glorify Him for. I choose to praise Him for this gift of life He has given us and not dwell on the rest.

And baby makes 3!

Jeremy and I are expecting a little girl in February! We are so excited! I am about 5 months now and the baby is quite the mover in me. I feel as though she is constantly kicking me and marvel over the miracle that is growing in me. Jeremy and I start our birthing classes next Monday and are excited to learn and prepare for our new arrival. =)

Does anyone still read this?

I doubt it because I have not posted in a long time! Yikes a lot has happened since February! Jeremy and I went to Texas to visit his brothers and also good friends of ours who have moved back to Texas after grad school. It was so good to see them and meet their newest child! We also enjoyed quite a few days with Jeremy's brother, sister-in-law and their four beautiful sons. I cannot wait to move closer to them.

May is not upon us and I celebrated my birthday last week. This is my last year before I turn 30! Crazy! It was really weird just to type that number out. I was very sick on my birthday but Jeremy was wonderful and we ordered dinner in and I just slept on the couch until we went down to my in-laws for some ice cream cake. Now we are almost done with May and I have only 2 weeks left to finish all my teaching and then review for a week before finals! This year has flown by but I have loved every minute of it! That's all I'm going to write for now because I don't know if anyone will even read this. My goal is to at least post once a week now. Hopefully I can do that! =)

Wow! Where have I been?

So it seems as though it has been forever since I last posted! I read other people's blogs on am almost daily basis while I am at school eating my lunch but I cannot seem to find anything interesting to post about! There has not really been anything new in our lives. We are just both busy working, leading the youth group and our weekly Bible studies (luckily they both meet on Thursdays).

Once again I am addicted to Lost. That show just intrigues me because I want to understand what the island is all about. Plus I was so happy to find out the Jin is still alive!

Next week I have the whole week off for our winter break. I wish I was going some place where the weather was warm and I could lay out on the beach drinking a fun fruity drink, but instead we are heading to NH to visit my Aunt and Uncle because Jeremy is going to work on their house. So far even though the economy is scary right now, God has been providing jobs for Jeremy. He has been so faithful to us! I realize that I am the type of person that will buy champagne on a beer budget but I need to be content to not go on all the fabulous vacations I dream about! Someday it will happen! =) Today two of our youth group girls are flying down to the Dominican Republic to visit "friends" they made on our missions trip there in August. I'm just jealous of the warm weather they will be experiencing!

Well that is all I can think to write about right now and my students just finished their test so I need to keep them under control until the bell rings in a few minutes. Adios!

Random thoughts

Well it has been a long time since I last posted. I guess I'm not good at this or nothing really exciting happens in my life. =)

We've just been living life lately. Trying to fix our house up and hopefully put it on the market next year. I'm really wanting to move and get away from the cold winters but at the same time I don't want to have to try to make new friends.

Today is only Thursday and it felt like Monday should be Friday. This has been a long week! I'm really looking forward to the weekend! Although we have nothing planned.

We've recently added cable tv and now there is always something to watch. This is not a good thing. I really should do a deep clean of my house....oh well.

I'm currently reading Soul Survivor and so far it is good and interesting. I need to finish it next week for my book club.

I'm too tired to think of more random thoughts to write down. I have two more classes to teach today and then I can go home! I think I might actually take a nap today because I could not fall asleep last night. Hopefully tonight will be different!

Watch out TSA

So I arrived back from Dallas! I was able to fly to and from Dallas with no government issued ID. It was crazy! First of all I forgot all of my id in another purse. Stupid me! I was so nervous when I realized that at the airport. But I think the Lord used it as a tool to teach me to trust Him more. I was all ready to drive 2 hours back home and get it and fly out later but I was able to make my way through security with a little bit of difficulty. They actually had to call Washington to clear me! =) Dallas was much easier though and I just basically sailed on through after explaining the whole situation.

I had a wonderful time in Texas with Jeremy and his family. It was great to see my little nephews and give them lot's of hugs and kisses. They are so cute! I was also able to get a fresh fruit slushy at Sonic. I love that place! Now I am back and waiting for Jeremy to return from NM. 6 more days and he is home!

Update

I have been very busy with the beginning of school. I am loving this year and really enjoy being the Global Studies teacher! I am also one of the 12th grade advisors and also the Student Activities Counsel advisor. So that makes me one busy teacher!

Jeremy has gone away again for a little bit to New Mexico. Once again I am by myself. Although I've been filling my time by watching One Tree Hill episodes. That is my guilty pleasure right now. I will meet up with Jeremy for a few days in Dallas, TX for his brother's wedding. I'm looking forward to warm weather and hopefully Sonic! I love their fresh fruit slushies! =) Yummy!
